Letter of 
ANSMITTAL. 
Geological Survey Brandi, 
Department of Mines, 
Sydney, September, 1891. 
Sir, 
I have the honour to submit Part II of Memoir No, 8 of the 
Palceontological Series of the Geological Survey of New South Wales, being 
an addition to the Contrihutions to a Catalogue of Works, Heports, and 
Papers on the Anthropology and Geological History of the Australian and 
Tasmanian Aborigines, prepared by Mr. B, Etheridge, Junr., Palaeontologist 
and Librarian to the Geological Survey of New South IVales. 
This important addition to the Catalogue of "Works, &c., referring to 
the above subjects which comprises the present Part, will materially add to 
the utility of the previously published portion of this Memoir, and will afford 
increased facilities to students and workers in Australian Ethnology and its 
cognate sciences for acquiring a comprehensive grasp of the wide range of 
literature relating to those interesting subjects. 
It is peculiarly fitting that, under the circumstances, a Catalogue like 
the present should be issued under official auspices as a Memoir of the 
Geological Survey, because, in the absence of Ethnological and Archteological 
Societies, pure and simple, in these Colonies, the study of Decent Geology in 
its relations to the Geological History of the Australian Aborigines, Avould 
be almost a dead letter were it not for the extension of Geological Science 
into the domain of Archaeology, as exhibited by the production of such 
Memoirs as the present. 
I have the honour to be. 
Sir, 
Your obedient servant, 
"VYILLIAM ANDERSON, 
Eor the Geological Surveyor-in-Charge. 
Harrie Wood, Esq., J.P., 
Under Secretary for Mines.
